• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the Minister is wasting my time. I am saying that we must do away with nepotism in this country. Today, when you look at appointments in five Ministries, you will see that their Ministers, Permanent Secretaries and other senior officers come from one area. We must root out nepotism from our public sector appointments. This is the message I am sending out, so that this country can prosper. We must kill 2042 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 12, 2006 nepotism for the unity of this country. view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am presenting a case for this country, so that we can become one nation. I am having a problem with Ministers who do not understand the importance of national cohesion. Some Ministers are here to defend themselves. When I talk about mega-corruption in this Government, I have in mind what has happened since this Government came to power. We know of some people who were poor when they joined the Government. Now they have lined their pockets and are "wider" than the roads of this country. view
• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: I can name them; do not worry about that. We have to root out nepotism and corruption from this country. When you look at the allocation to the Ministry of Provincial Administration and Internal Security, you will see that the GSU is given Kshs2.1 billion. Now, my question is why should we have our citizens being attacked by militiamen from Ethiopia when we have our security forces? What are the GSU officers doing to protect our people? We want our GSU officers to go to our borders to maintain security and order. We want this money to be used to ... view

• 11 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to mislead this House that security in this country has improved when an Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD) was killed by criminals and a Minister car-jacked? view

• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support and recommend that the reports on both the visits to Djibouti and the DRC be adopted by this House. As a member of this very important Committee, I have some points to make. Kenya is strategically located in the Horn of Africa, but unless we engage in very active participation in the political arena of the region, we may be left behind. We are equally a most important and peaceful country in this region. The mission of the Committee is to promote parliamentary diplomacy. It means ... view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to mislead this House that there is nothing the Government is hiding on these individuals when it has not been forthright from the beginning? On the 4th of April, a Question was asked on these individuals. On the 26th of April, a Motion of Adjournment was moved by hon. Kamotho concerning the same individuals, and the Government came out to defend these individuals that they were businessmen. Is the Government not hiding something on these individuals? Is the Minister in order to mislead the House? view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The security of our country is under threat. What happened at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) was an act of terrorism. What the Armenians did showed to the world the security in this country is defiled. It was like watching a Rambo movie; seeing two individuals running away to their hideouts with unopened bags and passports which had not been stamped. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is the third time the Government is defending these individuals. The first time was when a Question was asked on 4th April, 2006. The second time was when a ... view
